No end in sight, really. Apple is already preparing to reach new markets on other planets. You might say their strategy is to rocket out to where the space puck is going to be.

In fact, Apple engineers are hard at work designing 4-earbud sets for creatures that have evolved with quadraphonic hearing. Rumor has it the technology must be completely wireless because of the length of their ear talks.

Apple fails to garner consumer interest with iPhones and iPads. Consumers want oil, not shiny computing devices. ExxonMobil is leaving Apple in the dust. Apple is in the wrong business with or without Steve Jobs health issues. No point in trying to compare Apple with ExxonMobil. Apple will never become a trillion dollar company and ExxonMobil will be there by the end of this year.
